PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY (for 3 Joint Type) DISASSEMBLY


  1. REMOVE CENTER SUPPORT BEARING ASSEMBLY NO.1

    A01KF6J

    1. Fix the flange coupling at the center bearing section with a vice.

    2. Using chisel and hammer, loosen the staked part of the lock nut.

      Note

      Loosen the staked part of the lock nut completely, otherwise the screw of the propeller shaft may be damaged.

    3. A01KF4VE01

      Using SST and a socket wrench, remove the nut and spring washer.

      Place matchmarks on the intermediate shaft and flange coupling.

    5. A01KFLHE01

      Using SST, separate the flange coupling from the intermediate shaft.

      SST
      09950-30012   ( 09951-03010, 09953-03010, 09954-03010, 09955-03030, 09956-03030 )

    6. Remove the center support bearing assembly.

  2. INSPECT PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY REAR

    A01KF3E

    1. Using a dial indicator, check the shaft runout.

      Maximum runout
      Length of propeller shaft tube
      800 mm more than
      0.4 mm (0.016 in.)
      800 mm less than
      0.3 mm (0.012 in.)

      If the shaft runout is greater than maximum, replace the shaft.

  3. INSPECT INTERMEDIATE SHAFT

    A01KHS0

    1. Using a dial indicator, check the shaft runout.

      Maximum runout
      0.8 mm (0.031 in.)

      If the shaft runout is greater than maximum, replace the shaft.

  4. INSPECT UNIVERSAL JOINT SPIDER ASSEMBLY

    A01KFH1

    1. Using a spring tension gauge, hang the hook of the spring tension gauge on the bolt hole of the flange yoke and measure the rotating force.

      Standard rotating torque (at starting)
      2KD-FTV
      0.5 - 2.8 N*m (5.1 - 28.5 kgf*cm, 4.4 - 24.7 in.*lbf)
      Except 2KD-FTV
      Maximum 1.1 N*m (11.2 kgf*cm, 9.68 in.*lbf)

      Note

      Measurement of rotating force should be done at 2 positions for each universal joint by 90° on the opposite directions (flange yoke side and end yoke side). When the rotating force is lighter than the standard, use one lank thicker retainer ring and one lank thinner retainer ring when it is heavier.

  5. INSPECT CENTER SUPPORT BEARING ASSEMBLY NO.1

    A01KGBC

    1. When turning the center bearing with hand, check that it turns smoothly without catching and there is no crack or damage.

      If there is any defect, change it.

    2. In case that there is any damage in the lip of the center bearing case, change it.

      Note

      Do not soak the center bearing in the cleaner.

  6. REMOVE UNIVERSAL JOINT SPIDER ASSEMBLY

    A01KIMGE01

    1. Place matchmarks on the flange yoke and sleeve yoke.

    2. A01KFE8

      Using a brass bar and a hammer, slightly tap in the bearing outer races.

    3. Using 2 screwdrivers, remove the 4 snap rings from the grooves.

    4. A01KIMCE01

      Using SST, push out the bearing from the propeller shaft.

      SST
      09332-25010

      Tech Tips

      Sufficiently raise the part indicated by (A) so that it does not come into contact with the bearing.

    5. A01KI86

      Clamp the bearing outer race in a vise and tap off the propeller shaft with a hammer.

      Note

      Do not tap the shaft.

      Tech Tips

      Remove the bearing on opposite side in the same procedure.

    6. Install the 2 removed bearing outer race to the spider.

    7. A01KFCHE01

      Using SST, push out the bearing from the yoke.

      SST

      Tech Tips

      Sufficiently raise the part indicated by (A) so that it does not come into contact with the bearing.

    8. A01KEQA

      Clamp the outer bearing race in a vise and tap off the yoke with a hammer.
